Goal Number One continues


I am so grateful to Melissa at The Inspired Room for helping me to keep on task with what I've been calling my P&O (Purge and Organize) project for 2009. Every day I do something toward my goal of creating a beautiful clutter-free home. This week I tackled to one room that held the most shame for me. My craft room. It had become the "stash and dash" room. The place where I'd drop anything that I didn't want to take the time to actually find a good place for or that I was promising myself I'd get to some day. Sort of a 10 foot by 12 foot junk drawer.

After two and a half days of P&O



I took two large boxes to the Goodwill and one medium sized bag of stuff went into the garbage. A handful of things belonged in other areas of the house.
I uncovered four projects that could be done quickly that I had buried so deep they were completely forgotten.
There's a song in my head -- "I can see clearly now the shame is gone . . ."

Rita,

You are right. I should buy a lottery ticket. I never have.

Catherine would do an amazing job painting your home into a print. Isn't she just a marvel?
